South Australia. Port Willunga
Port Willunga jetty
Port Willunga jetty. The first jetty was built in 1853 and several months later an additional 52 metres was added. However this still gave inadequate water at low tide. The placement of the jetty was also questioned. In 1857 the jetty was extended again to give a length of 145 metres.
Port Willunga was at this time one of the busiest ports in the colony of South Australia with the large wheat crops of the immediate interior being exported from its jetty. The farmers petitioned for a new and longer jetty and this was constructed in 1867 some 400 metres to the south of the old jetty. It was opened in February 1868. A depth of between 3 and 3.6 metres at medium low water was achieved.
Local farmers petitioned for a further extension and a T-head but this was not agreed to. By the early 1870s the grain trade was depressed: the local flour mills had been closed by 1900. Slate continued to be exported for some time from the jetty. By the early 20th century the jetty was in disrepair, but still frequented by the local population, and visited by the occasional ship.
Today only a few piles remain below the cliffs as a reminder of Port Willunga's past.
The man-made hollows gouged into the bluffs were once fishermen’s boat sheds.

7 Reasons to Travel to Australia
I often get asked to make more travel videos about Australia, which is hard for me since it’s pretty much on the other end of the earth from where I live. But in this video, I’ll be joined via the magic of the internet by Ben from Melbourne Australia, to tell you why you should go to Australia!
1 - Kangaroos
Kangaroos are amazing… and the only place you can see them in the wild is in Australia.They can reach speeds of 60kph, clearing more than 8m with a single hop! Australia estimates that 34 million Kangaroos live in Australia.
2 - Weather
Australia has 4 seasons. Northern Australia is tropical. Southern
Australia temperate. Middle of Australia is desert
3 - Beaches
Ben's favorite Australian beach is Manly, he spoke about this on his podcast.
Great access to ocean surf beach as well as a protected flat beach
Flat beach is perfect for families and it’s where the Manly to Syndey ferry docks
Ferry ride is picturesque takes you from Circular Quay to Manly
Passes by the Opera House and Harbour Bridge on its way to Manly.
Half an hour or so later you’re there.
There’s also plenty of shops to peruse and places to eat and drink. Manly wins hands down.
Some other famous Australian beaches are;
Bondi beach (Sydney, known for seeing fit and sexy people flex their muscles)
Bells beach (VIC, home of Bells Beach Pro surfing comp)
Cape Woolamai (famous surf beach in Phillip Island, VIC)
Noosa Heads (Awesome beach north of Brisbane on the Sunshine Coast, easy drive)
Port Douglas beach far north Queensland (can get murky depending on the season and also watch out for Irukandji jellyfish that can kill you, usually found in waters around November to May)
Cottesloe beach (Perth, great Perth beach, love it also didn’t love being called out of the water because surf life saver spotted two sharks)
Glenelg main beach (Adelaide, brilliant suburban beach, South Australia)
Port Willunga beach (nice beach near Mclaren Vale, has amazing fish and chip shop at top of hill called Star of Greece, great to go to after you’ve done some wineries and it’s the middle of summer)
Any beach in far north Western Australia. It’s hard to get to and nearly untouched. Ningaloo Reef, which is 700,000 hectares and is a World Heritage Site is apparently even better than Great Barrier Reef, obviously more untouched and less damaged than the G.B.R.
4 - Public Pools on the Beach
There are a few pools by the beach that are cool. One that I can think of is in Bondi beach, which is a real pool that has sea water splashed into it as each wave comes by. Another pool I can think of is in NSW and is called The Blue Pool located in Bermagui. It can be dangerous as waves crash over the rocks and into the man-made/natural rock pool. There is signs advising people to be careful in stormy weather.
5 - Koalas
They are so cute! They live in Eucalyptus trees and they sleep like 20 hours a day!
6 - Asian Food
Melbourne we have a whole street dedicated to Vietnamese food, so yes, the Asian food in Australia is really good. Remember we’re on a few hours away from Asia. We (Australian’s) also get lumped into Asia when spoken about internationally (sometimes)
7 - Desert
Australia has a lot of it! Take a roadtrip through the Outback… no… not the Steakhouse.

At the start of the year my husband and I decided to take a road trip from Melbourne across to Adelaide where we stayed in Glenelg, visited Adelaide city centre, and took in the sites (and drinks) at the Barossa Valley, Adelaide Hills, Mount Lofty Summit, Victor Harbour and Port Willunga. We were there only two nights but we had a great trip!
